Globalization
“Since 2001 the pay of the typical worker in the United States has been stuck, with real wages growing less than half as fast as productivity.….. If you look back 20 years, the total pay of the typical top American manager has increased from roughly 40 times the average--the level for four decades--to 110 times the average now.… In China each person now produces four times as much as in the early 1990s. Having joined the global labour force, hundreds of millions of people in developing countries have won the chance to escape poverty. Hundreds of millions more stand to join them.… But in the rich world labour's share of GDP has fallen to historic lows, while profits are soaring.” (Economist, 2007)
